College Admissions Coaching

Every student approaches the college process differently.

Some need high-level strategy and expert guidance.
Others benefit from more structure, accountability, and steady partnership.

I offer three levels of support so families can choose the experience that best fits their student.

Our Services


The Head Start Path

For motivated, forward-thinking freshmen and sophomores who want to build a strong foundation for college success.

This track is designed for students who are ready to plan early and create clarity around their academic, extracurricular, and personal goals — setting themselves up for a confident and strategic college journey in the years ahead.

This experience includes:

  • Goal-setting and academic planning for future college readiness

  • Exploration and alignment of extracurricular interests

  • Time management and study strategies

  • Personalized check-ins and milestone guidance

  • Parent consultations to support the student’s growth

The result:

Clarity, confidence, and momentum — students begin building a strong foundation for long-term college success without feeling overwhelmed.

This track works best for students who:

  • Are motivated and proactive about their future

  • Benefit from early guidance and structure

  • Want to explore interests and align activities strategically

  • Thrive with thoughtful oversight and occasional check-ins


The Milestone Path

For motivated, independent students who benefit from expert guidance and thoughtful oversight.

This track is designed for high-functioning students who are capable of managing deadlines and tasks — but want a strategic partner to ensure they make smart, aligned decisions throughout the process.

This experience includes:

  • Comprehensive college list development (academic, social, financial fit)

  • Personalized application timeline

  • Strategic positioning guidance

  • Essay development support and feedback

  • Application review before submission

  • 1:1 student sessions (scheduled at key milestones)

  • Parent strategy meetings (as needed)

  • Email support for questions and feedback between sessions

The result:

Clarity. Confidence. A thoughtful, well-positioned application — without unnecessary stress.

This track works best for students who:

  • Are organized and self-motivated

  • Respond well to clear direction

  • Can implement guidance independently

  • Benefit from expert perspective without needing ongoing accountability


The Full Support Path

For high-potential students who benefit from additional structure, accountability, and personalized guidance.

Some students are bright, thoughtful, and capable — but don’t thrive in a fast-moving, self-directed process. They may need help breaking tasks down, managing timelines, or building momentum.

This track offers a deeper level of partnership and support.

This experience includes:

Everything in The Milestone Path, plus:

  • More frequent 1:1 sessions

  • Ongoing accountability and task management

  • Structured milestone planning

  • Parent coaching and communication support

  • Organizational tools and workflow systems

  • Extended essay development and feedback cycles

  • Calm, steady guidance through moments of overwhelm

The result:

A supported, organized, and emotionally grounded application process — where the student feels understood and capable.

This track works best for students who:

  • Benefit from structure and check-ins

  • Need help translating goals into action

  • May struggle with executive functioning or stress management

  • Thrive with a steady, relational guide

How Families Choose

During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss:

  • Your student’s working style

  • Level of independence

  • Timeline and goals

  • Family communication dynamics

Together, we’ll determine which track best supports both the student’s success and the family’s peace of mind.

What Makes This Different

This is not a volume-based service.

I intentionally limit the number of students I work with each year to ensure:

  • Personalized attention

  • Thoughtful strategy

  • Consistent availability

  • Deep understanding of each student

Whether local to the Columbia Gorge or working virtually from across the country, families receive the same calm, individualized experience.
